Energy generation from non-hazardous waste streams, which are unfeasible to be reused or recycled, can help overcome some of the problems related fossil fuel depletion, global increase in energy demand and management under restricted landfilling. One main drawbacks waste-to-energy strategies is poor combustion properties waste, densification could circumvent. This work studies co-pelletization refused derived (RDF) pine sawdust (PIN) a continuous pilot pellet mill that resembles industrial...
Calcium Looping can be a suitable technology to address the CO2 capture from disperse flue gas sources, including shipping, by decoupling carbonation and calcination steps using CaCO3 as transport media. In this work we present design of moving bed carbonator especially suited for these applications. The Ca-sorbent material (porous CaO or Ca(OH)2 in form pebbles pellets) is fed top reactor at ambient conditions preheated gases leaving reactor. Then carbonated solids leave bottom temperature...
This work outlines the commissioning and initial experiments from a new pilot plant at Arcelor Mittal Gas Lab (Asturias, Spain) designed to decarbonize up 300 Nm3/h of blast furnace gas (BFG). investigation intends demonstrate for first time TRL7 calcium-assisted steel-mill off-gas hydrogen (CASOH) process gases. The CASOH is carried out in packed-bed reactors operating through three main reaction stages: (1) H2 production via water–gas shift (WGS) CO present BFG assisted by simultaneous...
H2 production by sorption enhanced steam reforming (SESR) of bio-oil/biogas blends was demonstrated in a fluidized bed reactor. It combines (SR) with simultaneous CO2 capture solid sorbent. SESR performed on Pd/Ni-Co catalyst derived from hydrotalcite-like material (HT) using dolomite as Bio-oil fast pyrolysis biomass is carbon–neutral and renewable energy source great potential for clean processes. Biogas also promising bio-based resource hydrogen generation that can be used to increase the...
Countercurrent moving bed reactors were recently proposed to capture CO2 from dispersed sources using calcium materials. Due disparities with Calcium Looping systems in particle size and solids residence times, additional investigations are required identify reaction controlling steps kinetic parameters. This study examines the carbonation of centimeter-scale CaO Ca(OH)2-derived-CaO pebbles under conditions relevant applications. To this end, impact temperature (450–650 °C) concentration...
